Among
the hundreds of email letters I receive, scores of them ask the same
question: "I see the problem, but what can I do?" Today's column is an
attempt to answer these people.

First,
let's acknowledge that our Pilgrim forebears answered this question by
leaving their homeland and risking their lives on a dangerous voyage
across the Atlantic Ocean to a new world. There is no doubt in my mind
that conditions in America today rival those of the ancient Pilgrims in
Europe. (They are probably worse!) Obviously, there are no new worlds
to settle, but I do know of people who are relocating to other
countries for reasons very similar to those of our Pilgrim fathers.

However,
what can those of us do who plan to stay and "tough it out" in America?
Are we totally without recourse? Is there nothing we can do to truly
help turn the ship of state around?

Let me
begin by stating some things that will have very little impact on much
of anything.

Continuing
to vote for the majority of establishment candidates from both the
Republican and Democratic parties will accomplish nothing. Voters have
been changing the composition of their various and sundry elected
offices for decades, and nothing has changed. The country continues to
plummet down the proverbial slippery slope.

Attending
the average church in the United States will produce little salt to
protect against the forces of evil which currently seem to dominate our
country. Regardless of denomination, most churches today refuse to
address the crucial, salient issues that would educate and inspire
people to make a difference.

Neither
will listening to the major news media, including Fox News, prepare one
to be a difference-maker. With very few exceptions, the major TV
newscasts and radio talk shows are regurgitating the same redundant
propaganda.

So, for
those of you who really want to do something that will prepare you to
make a difference in your country, I offer the following suggestions.

If you
are a Christian, do your best to find a church where the pastor knows
what is going on and is not afraid to teach and preach politically
incorrect Bible truth. How far one might have to drive should not be a
factor. Neither should denomination be a factor. Obviously, one cannot
compromise fundamental convictions, but I would far rather worship in a
church outside my denominational preference where the pastor was a bold
and courageous champion of truth than stay in the denomination of my
preference and sit under a milquetoast preacher. If one is not a
Christian, he or she should become one and find this kind of church.

Our
country's problems are, first and foremost, spiritual in nature.
Therefore, solutions will ultimately never be discovered inside the
halls of Congress; rather, they will be found in the hearts and lives
of God's people. "Judgment must begin at the house of God." If enough
people would leave these panty-waist, compromising,
entertainment-evangelism, prosperity-theology, "purpose-driven" social
clubs and start supporting true tell-it-like-it-is men of God, we could
see a genuine revival in America.

Secondly,
begin educating yourself. Stop relying on the major news outlets to
bring you the news. I heartily recommend the New American Magazine. In
my mind, it is the best news magazine out there. I also find Human
Events newspaper very informative, and Middle American News is another
good one. There are several smaller, independent papers out there, too.
For example, in the Greenville, South Carolina area, the Times Examiner
is an excellent resource.

Internet
news sites such as NewsWithViews.com and WorldNetDaily.com are also
valuable sources of information. Read everything Jerome Corsi writes.
Get on Congressman Ron Paul's mailing list. Everyone should subscribe
to Howard Phillips' "Issues and Strategy Bulletin." It is a fantastic
resource! For educational matters, read John Stormer. John Eidsmoe is
as good as they get regarding constitutional issues. For a thorough and
in-depth study of economics, read Don McAlvany.

Find
non-establishment or independent radio talk shows. People such as
George Putnam in California, Barbara Jean Whiteley in Utah, Stan
Monteith in Colorado, and Adam McManus and Alex Jones in Texas come to
mind. Alex is tough to take, sometimes, and I'm not sure I subscribe to
everything he says, but at least he is in the fight and not afraid to
take on the hard issues.

Joel Skousen's
web site is a treasure-trove of
useful information. Christians will, no doubt, enjoy David Alan Black's
web site. Covenant News might be the best web site regarding pro-life
issues. Alan Keyes and Tom DeWeese also have excellent web sites. For
family resources, I recommend Doug Phillips' Vision Forum. One should
definitely receive Phyllis Schlafly's newsletters. Pat Buchanan is an
author and political commentator worth reading and listening to.

Thirdly,
get involved with likeminded patriots. Hook up with your local John
Birch Society. Join Larry Pratt's Gun Owners of America. Jews for the
Preservation of Firearms Ownership is another terrific pro-Second
Amendment organization you should be familiar with.

In
addition, I recently left the GOP and am now proud to be identified
with the Constitution Party. I recommend the CP to my readers. I also
like what Jim Gilchrist is doing with the Minuteman Project.
Congressman Tom Tancredo deserves our support, too.

Fourthly,
never discount prayer. God's true champions have seldom, if ever, been
a majority. Throughout history, God has used a small number of faithful
and courageous Christian soldiers to accomplish His divine will. He can
still do so.
